However, in Helsinki, Finland, a large municipal wastewater treatment facility continuously monitors its emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) to help in the city’s efforts to ...

IntroductionIn recent years an increasing amount of health evidence from building occupants has confirmed the existence of sick building syndrome (SBS). This is where occupants within a building begin to report feelings of nausea, headaches and general feelings of illness. Additional symptoms of this health problem include eye, nose and throat irritation, coughing and fatigue. The fact that most ...

The 'IAQ Profile' is a visual presentation of indoor air quality. PPM Technology's range of IAQ Monitors enable continuous monitoring of Indoor Air Quality; this precisely describes changes in concentration levels of selected air quality parameters over a period of time. The IAQ Profile provides the knowledgebase and database for improving indoor air quality efficiently and ...
